Your child is a source of light. But perhaps you've noticed their light has dimmed recently and you feel concerned. Perhaps your teen is falling behind in school, having difficulty connecting with their friends, or experiencing confusion as they explore their gender identity. Your young child may be having anger outbursts or challenges with their behavior at home. Adjusting to the post-COVID lifestyle might be causing ongoing worries and changes in mood or personality. Or your child might have experienced a major stressor like divorce, a death in the family, or even a traumatic event like a car accident or an act of violence.

I work with Older Millennial/Xennial/Gen X’ers who are spiritual seekers, ready to reclaim more of themselves and their power in mid-life so they can have deeper presence, joy, aliveness & connection. I also hold space for psychedelic journeys for people who want to go deep into consciousness to better understand themselves and life’s great mysteries (ind/grp/couples.) In addition, I teach and mentor other therapists and wellness practitioners on how to bring energy work into their practices to better support themselves and their clients so they can experience feeling more energized and inspired as they share their wisdom and gifts.

My top priority as a therapist is to ensure that my clients feel safe and heard because I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can be therapeutic in and of itself. Everyone is different, and the intricacies and nuances of the human experience propel my genuine curiosity about you and what you experience, feel, and think. Through various interventions and modalities, grounded in the humanistic beliefs that the you are the expert in your own life and that every client is different, I hope to help you grow into who you want to be.

It is my belief that healing comes from within you, and within the context of relationship. I practice Somatic Experiencing therapy, which focuses on positive psychology and the concept of healing at a biological and nervous system level (reconnecting the mind and body as one). As a facilitator and witness to this healing, I have had the privilege of working with clients experiencing a variety of presenting issues. I aim to provide a space for you to be your truest self, to help you to create more balance in your life, to break free from old patterns, and to expand your natural capacity to heal.

I enjoy witnessing how individuals, parents, and couples start applying positive changes in their relationships with themselves, their partners, and their children and, as a result, continue gradually transforming the quality of their lives into a creative and peaceful environment that allows even more growth and fulfillment. My clients and I work in different scenarios, some having self-esteem and personal achievement blockers, depression, and addictions. Parents are having issues managing a lovely discipline and especially agreeing about it. And couples are having issues to find out whether their relationship can continue or not.

So much of life is about relationships, beginning with the relationship with oneself. I believe this is the foundation upon which people thrive. The therapeutic relationship is at the crux of self-discovery and personal growth, and through this connection, individuals begin to develop a greater understanding of themselves, their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, motivations and desires. This translates into a more empowered sense of self, improved relations with others, and ultimately a better quality of life.

Is your kid/teen a blackbelt in avoiding responsibility, arguing their way out of any disagreement, or spending more time doing what they want to rather than what you’ve asked them to over and over again? If only they’d sit still and finally listen when you tell them what they should be doing instead. When it comes to kids/teens who have mastered these ancient arts however, this approach rarely seems to work. Finding ways to help young people that isn’t perceived as scolding, lecturing, or punishing is my focus, and teaching them how to make peace with their inner world is my goal.

I help kids, grownups, and everyone in between find their own True Voice, so they can live the lives they deserve.
Maybe your child is misbehaving at school, or your teenager is sullen and distanced, or you're in love and know you'd like to stay with this person, if you could only change a few things that really scare you. Or maybe there's an aggressive part of you that your parents didn't know how to handle, or a hurt and vulnerable side that you've always felt too ashamed to feel.

Dr. Dubin graduated from The University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey and then completed a residency in Emergency Medicine. Disenchanted with treating patients with medication, he researched Neurofeedback and found improvement in his own brain physiology. DirectNeurofeedback is a low-strength electric current that's effective in reducing the symptoms of anxiety, depression, traumatic brain injury, PTSD, addiction, and ADD/ADHD. It sends a tiny, imperceptible signal to the brain that causes a slight fluctuation in brainwaves. This fluctuation allows the brain to reorganize itself and get out of frozen, stuck patterns, like re-booting a frozen computer.
